DAC Episode 173: Just Downright Mean
/In which Aidan is mean to Pearl Jam.
Under discussion today: The Magicians: body swap episodes, finger snipping and how to call the moon a cunt. Also, the long-gone Terriers and the cerebro-pulp joys of Devs.
Have you ever been faced with the sheer terror of an episode of something? Be unacquainted no more! Gaze in horror as your mind unravels at the sight of so many episodes.
In which Aidan is mean to Pearl Jam.
Under discussion today: The Magicians: body swap episodes, finger snipping and how to call the moon a cunt. Also, the long-gone Terriers and the cerebro-pulp joys of Devs.
Journey with me, dear listeners, to the long-ago time of a few weeks ago, when coronavirus wasn’t chewing through our population and exposing the faults of our rapacious society. A time when Adam and Aidan could discuss the return of Terriers on Hulu, the publication of Adam’s latest novel Turn to Paige Never, the diminishing returns of Altered Carbon season two - oh wait, we talk about COVID-19 in Seattle. Innocence lost! Listen below or find us on your podplace of choice.
“Ha ha,” says Adam, “We should figure out the best television of the decade and talk about it.”
“Yeah,” said Aidan, “and we’ll make up a bunch of totally bullshit categories that will be really difficult to work with.”
“Wait -”
“Totally doing it that way”.
“No -”
“Going to be the best thing ever”.

In which Adam and Aidan hash out the first part of DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths. Do they have… opinions? Only time will tell. Listen below or find us on iTunes!
Welcome to the ongoing conversations of Adam and Aidan as they try to puzzle out the mysteries behind, uh, stuff. We get a little nostalgic about the time we met up in NYC and tried to record a podcast outdoors next to a fountain. What were we even thinking? We were not thinking.
In this episode: The Good Place (4.06) “does the thing”; what is “perfect television”? (the answer may surprise you); a massive improvement happens on Arrow (8.04); and so on. Listen below, or find us on an iTuner of your choice.
My notes for this podcast go as follows:
Adam got hit by a car
Aidan gets attacked by spice
The Good Place
HBO Max
All the CW shows
“Heaven forfend ‘round the riverbend”
I don’t know what that last one was about. Listen below or enjoy on the Apple Podcast of your choice!
And here it is! Discussed on the latest DAC: Batwoman, Supergirl and Titans. On the non-superheroic front, we also discuss The Good Place and Stumptown.
Oh hey, podcast listeners! Glad you could join us for this, the 156th episode of Destroy All Culture. In this episode Adam interviews noted film critic Aidan for his opinions on Joker, which was an edgy and controversial film in the same way a bowl of instant ramen without the flavour packet is edgy and controversial.
After that, the conversation settled on the first three episodes of the “glories of Stumptown,” as Adam puts it. Also discussed: the fifth season premiere of Supergirl, the series premiere of Batwoman, and… is that it? We didn’t even get to the Superboy episode of Titans, which is probably the best episode of the series so far. Listen below, or find us on iTunes.
Podcasts are a mystery
Every ep must stand alone
We sent 155 to the store
And it didn’t come home
In this week’s podcast, Adam and Aidan discuss many things - Ad Astra, Spectacular Spider-man, Chuck Wendig’s Wanderers and the final two episodes of Killjoys - but the real star of the hour is the flapping, honking, thieving and harassing goose, that avatar of avian assholishness from Untitled Goose Game. Adam won’t stop playing, Aidan won’t stop braying (he is, in fact, a donkey). Listen below or find us on iTunes!
